Detention, Saturday June 7, 2008

When the students came through the door into the Danger Shop, they'd find themselves standing on a grassy knoll. Stretching out before them was an expanse of warm, thick bubbling mud over which a simple ropes course had been built. On the other side of that was a stretch of solid ground, and on the other side of that was a lake.

Harriet was waiting for them, hands behind her back. "Good morning." She favoured them all with a brief smile. "All you have to do is get to the other side." She waved behind them, where the door they'd come through had disappeared, then pointed into the distance, where it could just be seen. "As you can see, that's where the door is now. You will work in pairs to go over the course and across the rope bridge, after which you will build a raft and paddle across the lake. You'll find everything you could possibly imagine you'd need to build one waiting for you."

She announced the pairs -- Ella and Ino, Lois and Gwen, Gavin and John -- and then added, somewhat sharply, "Gavin and John, you're going to have an extra special challenge." Harriet threw a belt with metal loops to each of them, and a length of climbing rope with a carabineer on each end. "You will put those on, and you will stay clipped together until you leave, or we're going to be spending every Saturday from now until the end of time together." She gave them a look. "And I will not be happy about it. Now, off you go!" She smiled again. "I'll be keeping an eye on you from outside."

And she turned away towards the door, walking about two feet above the mud, the ground, and the water, and left.

"Oh yeah?" Gavin asked, looking back over his shoulder. "Did anyone that's here now know him?"

John coughed a little. "He was involved with Lana apparently. And knew Professor Skywalker."

"Awkward," Gavin said, almost gleeful at seeing the other side. "Does Lana like you still?"

"I don't know, but she's nice enough about it," John replied, so glad this part was almost over with. "I'd be seriously confused if my ex showed up and didn't know me."

"I don't know how she can resist you," Gavin staid, stepping over onto the other side. "What with you being so ravishing and all."

"You know, I've been told I'm irresistible, but I'm really very taken," he informed Gavin, joining him on the platform. Just in case.

"My heart, she breaks," Gavin said, mock swooning. "Ready for the next part?"

"Lead the way, Rogue boy," John said, looking down at their next obstacle.

"Come on (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1792001.html?thread=111257601#t111257601)," Gavin said and led the way.
